I bought my 9 yr old son your first book. He finished it in two days and then begged me to buy the next one. Roderick Rules was gobbled up within 24 hours of receiving it and now he wants number three.

I explained that books aren't churned out by the publisher as quickly as an author can write them, that there's a process that must be followed, etc. I'm an author myself, so I thought he'd easily appreciate this reality.

Seems I was wrong.

He is tapping his foot, dying for number three. Kudos to you from a fellow author on your spot-on stories. They clearly speak to the audience they were intended for.

My daughter has never sat down and read on her own. We purchased the Diary of a wipmy kid at the school book fair and she went through it in a matter of a couple of days. We then placed an order with the school librarian to order the 2nd book that she is now reading. I love to see her just sit and enjoy reading!!! Thank you and I hope you continue the great work

Congratulations on your success with the Wimpy books! I was afraid that the voice of Igdoof was silenced forever. I can't tell you how hard I laughed reading that comic. I had graduated several years ahead, but I still read the Diamondback. I still have an old, yellowed clipping of my favorite strip--it's the one where Igdoof is writing new dialog, all centered on farting, for some cartoon strips.

Just wanted to let you know that my 7 year old son LOVES your books. He finished #1 very quickly, and was anxious for #2. The tooth-fairy brought him #2 this morning, and by 3pm on the same day, he had finished it, and has started reading it again.

Congratulations on putting together some great books, and keep up the good work!

I am a fifth grade teacher in New York City and my students and I read and really enjoyed your book. Fourteen of my twenty ESL students read it. They loved your book so much that they visited other fourth and fifth grade students at our school during RIF week, read selected parts of the book aloud and presented projects such as board games they created for the other kids. We can't wait to receive our copies of Book 2. As soon as one of them would finish the book, they would pass it around the room to another student to read. This is the only time I have ever seen this excitement about a book in six years of teaching. I took the book home one night and laughed out loud on the subway at Greg and Rowley. You do a great job of describing what middle school is really like. Thanks for writing four more! Can't wait...

your book is the best one i have ever read in my life.when i started to read your book it got so exciting.i got your book at my scool book fair.i hope you publish your book in liberys and book stores.all i hope is that you send this book all around the world so people can see how exciting your book is.well make more and don't stop thing of ideas for more books.

I am a fifth grader and I could possibly be considered your number one fan. I loved both of your books and am starving for more. Your books make me laugh a ton. I was lucky enough to see you speak at Wellesley Booksmith, only I unfortunately did not get you to sign my book. I would only like to warn you that there is a list of non accurate books that will come later in the series on Wikipedia, so I assume that you would want to go on and delete them. Thanks for letting me always rely on your books for a laugh!

The Book Is So AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son and I have connected over Diary of a Wimpy Kid like no other book (and I have tried a lot of them). I laughed out loud so many times, especially when Rodrick woke Greg up and convinced him it was the first day of school because my older sister pulled that trick on me at least three times while I was growing up (although hers was that I was late for school, not that I missed summer), and I ALWAYS fell for it. Thanks so much. Can't wait to read #2.

Hi mr. kinny I have read both of your books.Do you remember me from the book signing on feb 2 2008 at borders near the maine mall in maine??I was the boy who asked you if you could come to pond cove school in cape elizabeth. I waited a long time to get my book signed but it was worth it.My teacher the day before the book signing he sent home flyers of your apearence at borders.My teacher wuld have loved to come but he had to go to his son's play or something.I can't belive you might make a movie out of Diary of a wimpy kid!Will it be animated or real?I am sorry I am asking so many questions!One more thing.Can you visit my blog?

I adored your book. My fourth grade son and I have connected over this like no other book (and I have tried a lot of them). Also, I felt such a kinship with Greg because my sister used to wake me up out of a dead sleep and tell me I was going to be late for school. She did it three or four times while I was growing up and I fell for it every single time. Thanks so much for the wonderful writing!

Goodness! my Whole family of SIX is in line waiting to read it! of course...I got to first! hehe...but your books are great for all ages! I think my little brother even started the cheese touch in real life...!!!

My son is 8 years old. He is a reluctant reader and gets special assistance at school for reading. I bought your first book at our School Book Fair, gave it to him for christmas...HE FINISHED THE BOOK. It took him a while, but he did it. We then went and found the second one and he wrote me this note.DIARY OF A WIMPY KID IS THE BEST BOOK IVE EVER READ IN THE HOLE INTIRE WORLD! SO FAR I AM ON BOOK 2 OF DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. THANK YOU MOM, AND DAD FOR GETING ME THAT BOOK, LOVE ALEX.You have made a difference and it is much appreciated. Thank you! mom in Eugene Oregon

I love the series. I went to funbrain.com (cause i haven't been there for years).I saw the ad and I read the book.(I got the printed version after reading the online one)Diary of a wimpy kid 1 and 2 are great i can't wait for three (I got book 2 today and read the whole thing.)

March 12, 2008Hi I am a parent in charge of our schools Book Fair this Spring. We have been talking up your book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". We were unable to get in the fall so the kids were very excited to see both books on this years Book Fair. But, we were very shocked when a second grader was reading her new "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book she came across a sentenced that she showed the teacher and the staff made me pull it off the book shelf. On page 33 in the 2nd book, last sentence says "But what was even WORSE was when some girls came up to Rowley at lunch and started kissing his butt". I don't think that second and third graders or any elementary students should be reading. Florida

Hi Mr Kinney! I absolutely LOVE Diary of a Wimpy Kid and I think it it is great. About 9/23 kids in my class is reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Can you give me a sneak peek of the 3rd book? I have already read the first two and I think that they ROCK!!!your biggest fan, Kandy Kane

On april vacation my family and i went to a barnes and nobles over by the burlington mall my dad started reading your book found no interest. Them i picted it up i sat in the same spot for a half an hour. I finished 100 pages and let me say i have never read that much or goten into a book that much before. You have shown me the power of the book thank-you. I LOVE YOUR BOOKS MAKE MORE THAN 5 !!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Mr. Kinney. I love diary of a wimpy kid! Your books rock. My favorite part in the 2nd book, my favorite part was Rodrick's "One hundred years ago" poem. My fav part in the 1st was new year's eve when Manny swalowed the thread and took an orange out of the fridge to show what size the thread was. Manny is my favorite character. how did u decide what he should look like? I like how he hid on the top shelf on his first day of nursery. Me and my friend Anna (who posted a few comments above me) cracked up all througout both of the books. Espeicially at the "Bink says boo!" kids. See ya!

Can you write faster? My 10 year old son just read the first book in one sitting (and he has NEVER voluntarily read anything besides Calvin & Hobbes e.v.e.r.) and tried to steal the 2nd book from me! I forced him to hand it back over to read on a plane trip this weekend. You need to write about 27 more in the next month or so! Ok?

I am a fourth grade girl, and your biggest fan. I have read the first book 4 times, and the second, I've already read it once, and still reading it for the second time. They are amazing books. When I grow up, I plan to be a author. I wan't t o write books that get people talking, books like yours! Your ideas a re hilarious, and even my cousin, who is six, and lives on a farm where there is always something to do (Not including reading) asked me if I wanted to use it when she was done, and then threw in all the funny parts,(that was practicly the whole book) and then told me how much she loved it! I told her I had my own, but thanked her anyway. My teacher read the first, and second, and we voted to read them both a gain, starting with the first, and then rereading the second. We ALL love the book, and over half of us have the book, and read along withour teacher. Please write more than 5.

Your stuff is really, really funny - dare I say, brilliant. I've been riffing on them with my seven year old for weeks now. We think that Manny and Rowley are both very funny, partly because of the teeth but there's so much more to it. We both find Rowley's infatuation with Joshie, for example, to be side-splittingly hilarious. We also love the fact that you write out the words "push" and "shove." I am bonding with my son on a whole new level thanks to you. Excellent!

This seris is sooo funny! My mom told me that the diary of a wimpy kid was popular at her school book fair. so the other day i bought the first book and loved it! It was soooo funny! Also I loved the book soo much I bought the second one (with the exclusive sticker!)

I am a learning support teacher for students in grades 5 and 6. I showed this to the students in my class and it was a big hit! A boy in my class who is a struggling reader is on page 216 and he has only had the book for 4 days! I even caught this boy reading at recess! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I am sadden to know that there will be only five books in the series. I really think Jeff Kinney could entertain us forever with his wholesome humor.

Of course I had to preview the books before I encouraged my students to read them. I read both of your books within a week. It has been years since I have laughed so much. Thank you reminding me of how fun it was to be a child! You have done a great service to the future; you have provided a way for the next generation to start a love of reading.

I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid in only 2 days, and I reread it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I showed my grandparents Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and they started to LOL (Laugh Out Loud)!!!I'm trying to get the 2nd book.I LOVE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rodrick Rules were on sale in the Monterey Ridge Elementary Scholastic book fair. Man, it was so great, Rodrick Rules was right off the shelf in a second! Besides, I got the last one on the shelf (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). It was so funny (Where Fregley made up the bathroom language and when Rowley created the "Zoo-Wee-Mama! comic strips") I laughed so hard I fell on my carpet!

I am reading your First book right now. Out school librain got it for me to read. I have only had it for one day and I only have FIVE MORE PAGES TO READ!!! Can't wait to read your 2nd and 3rd book!!! I want to buy the 2nd book accutly.

To be true with all of you, I really havn't even read any of the books. If you count reading one page out of a friends book, then yeah I have. Sooooooo if you would please keep me up to date on this and if I get really really interested then I will read some of the books!!!

My heartful Thanks to you. My son is 10 and had lost a love for books until he picked your books up at the bookfair. My search for your books for him led to this blogspot. You made a difference not only in my Joshua's but gave us the hope that he has that reader inside him. Thank you and can't wait for more books.

Hello! I met you at thee Southern Kentucky bookfest and you were so funny! I liked it when another kid said: Why do you make Greg wear skirts? It was really hilarious. Hope to meet you again sometime!--Darcirox

After our school's book fair many copies of these books were sold. My 10 year old son, who HATES to read began reading book 1. He laughed so much and finished the book in record time. He was able to take an AR test at school, passed and rushed for book 2. He finished that one in record time as well, took another AR test and got 100%....He eagerly awaits book 3! Thank you for getting my son interested in books..if only you could write them as quickly as he reads them! :)

Hi, I bought your book (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) for my 9 year old autistic son. He loves the book! After we read it he went online to your site. He was trying to look at the site to see if you had any games! lol We will check back in the future i told him to see if you added any online games. Thanks, Stephen

Hi Jeff, just wanted to let you know your series is huge hit at our store Borders Express where I am the asst. manager, I have MANY parents say their child did not like to read BEFORE they bought "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Congrats, it's so exciting when something like this happens & you turn young kids onto reading I just love it, the only downside is they want more, like today!!!!! I have daily kids come in & ask WHEN? is the next one. I have read them also just to see if they were as good as the kids said, their right!!!!! keep up the great work, we love you!!!!Borders Express in Hanover MAss.

My 11 year old who has reading comprehension problems brought home your books from a book sale at school. I cannot tell you how happy I was when he spent all his spare time reading your books.He finished both books within a couple of weeks, he absolutely loved the books. I have a tutor for my son and asked her to test him on what he read and did he understand what he read. The answer yes... yes... Please continue writing the books. It made me so happy to see him reading the books every chance he had. Thank you so much and he is looking forward to your next book and I can honestly say you made a difference in my childs reading life. Thank you.
